A Time When Food was
Scarce
Since we didn't catch any eels this
past fall, dog mushers here in Marshall had to look for other sources
of dog food. As soon as the ice was thick enough to travel on, my
brothers and I found a good spot and set out our lush fish trap. It
took four and a half hours to set and has averaged about five fish
per night .We also have nets to catch white
fish and pike, and the nets and fish traps have sustained us through
much of the winter. But just as food was getting scarce, the
blackfish arrived.
From time to time blackfish show up
at different places.Their numbers are so great that they will melt a
hole in the ice, and that is generally how they are found. This
usually happens when the temperature is between 10-40 degrees below
zero, making it dangerous to go and gather these little
fish.
Jaylene and I went early one morning
before daybreak to a spot about 10 miles north of here. Someone had
been there the day before us, and there was a total of about 16 gunny
sack bags in several piles around the area. We found an active hole
with fish in it and started to scoop them out using a small dip net.
After scooping them out we emptied the net into a gunny sack. The
temperature was -20 degrees, so we had to clear the ice from the hole
frequently. The process of filling the net and then the bags was
slow, but we soon had eight bags filled up, giving us mushers relief
during a time when food was scarce.
